hunting season
My loving husband is an avid hunter. He gifted me with a similar pair of camo yoga pants last year.

seven days ago
.jpg "photo taken on Valentine's Day 2013")
A week ago, my loving husband took our daughter and I out for a nice dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day. We weren't the only ones there by a long shot. We were told that it would be an hour and forty-five minutes before we would be seated.
Yes, a one hundred and five minute wait for supper after an hour drive to the restaurant. We waited because... well, we really wanted Olive Garden.
I noticed a guy {Olive Garden employee} offering wine tasting to the left of the hostesses. After we found a place to sit {very crowded}, I made a bee-line for him and asked him if he could make a recommendation. He asked me if I preferred red or white, sweet or dry... I said red and that I wasn't sure about the sweet or dry option.
He offered Chianti and it was so tasty that I went back for seconds. *wink*
By the time we were finally seated, I ordered a full glass of Chianti. I discovered that Chianti is definitely a sipping wine {at least for me}. My hubby tried to encourage me to sip faster after the dessert was served because our waitress was hovering. I ended up leaving wine on the table because I couldn't gulp it down quick enough.
NOTE: My two freebies were no where close to being even half full. Definitely tasters.

crafty and unique
These particular yoga pants are no longer available on Etsy but they are nifty.
Looks like the maker recycled tshirts...
I wouldn't attempt making your own version of these pants while drinking wine but using those tshirts in your closet that you never wear and your handy dandy serger... You can make your very own pair of custom yoga pants.
Depending on your skill level, no one will doubt that ya enjoy wine. *wink*

corks recycled
The evening after Valentine's Day and you spy empty bottles of wine in the trashcan. Several corks remain on the kitchen counter..
You aren't quite sure what to do with the corks... Throwing them away {again} seems wasteful...
A crafty project using the spoils of your recent wine party? Yes!
Be careful using a sharp object while whittling the cork away into your chosen message. Don't do this immediately after consuming multiple bottles of wine and probably not the day after either. *wink*

red wine spritzer
Sangria with Sprite has been my go-to drink while fixing supper for just over a year now. I progressed to just Sangria over time but this drink sounds intriguing.
Red wine + flavored sparkling water with fresh fruit. Sounds like summer to me.
Of course, it is just February but it *is* summer somewhere. Right?
Click through for the recipe.

approved
Honestly, I own two pair of yoga pants as of this moment in time. I wish that I owned more. I really do. It's on the list. *promise*
I'm actually planning on wearing my yoga pants on the plane, which is the #1 place that it is okay to wear my favorite leg covering.
Where do you wear your yoga pants?

pretty in pink
The pretty pink glasses intrigued me. The recipe is simple. A variation is using your favorite lemon/lime carbonated soda {i.e. Sprite} instead of the sparkling water.
Would be appropriate with cucumber sandwiches, yes? Without crusts.
Watering down alcohol isn't always encouraged but think of it as extending the life of your bottle. *wink*

The following images were found around the internet. Some were discovered on facebook, while others were spied on instagram. Nevertheless, they share a common theme - yoga pants and alcohol.
